VAGOwners Car Insurance Scheme with Prestige Keep Moving

WE VIEW YOU AS A BETTER DRIVER MEANING WE CAN OFFER CHEAPER PREMIUMS!

• “Just sorted out my policy with these guys. Think they were the most helpful insurance company I have ever spoke to and would recommend them to anyone before any other company. Glad I could join these even left my existing policy 6 months into it. So thank you Prestige.” Mr J, Flintshire
• “Saved me £230 very happy...service was excellent.” K.Spicer

• You are entitled to a FREE MOT worth up to £54.85 at any Halfords Autocentre when you renew your car insurance with us.
• There are very few exclusions on the scheme! It starts at age 21, and includes all postcodes (excludes Northern Ireland), and all modifications (except nitrous). If you wish to insure a ‘performance’ vehicle on our scheme, then you must have at least a years experience of driving that or similar bhp car.
• We have an excellent Claims Accident Management company.

The main reason we can offer this scheme to you is because members of car enthusiast groups are viewed as better drivers which allows us to offer cheaper premiums.

Please call us on 0800 3308057 (or 0333 4001580 for mobiles as it can be included in any ‘free minutes’). We are open Monday-Friday 9am-8pm and Saturdays 9am-4pm and please don’t forget to mention this club when ringing so you can see the benefit.

Hi to all!
Just to let you know that over the next few weeks, I will be on annual leave though I do hope to have sporadic internet access.
This means I won’t be able to answer pm’s or questions on here immediately.

Should the need arise for anything urgent, please feel free to ring the team directly on 0800 3308057, or 0333 4001580 if calling by mobile. They are a friendly bunch as some of you have already discovered and seen from comments on other forums!

July was our best month of the year for business on our special car insurance scheme! If your car insurance renewal is due in the next 30 days, please feel free to ring us on 0800 3308057 or 0333 4001580 if ringing by mobile.

Please pass my thanks on.

• Just had a great quote. i liked how helpfull he was.
Thanks Dave

• I'd just like to add that they did me a fantastic price for the Cinqs renewal, knocking £400 off my mega £995 renewal fee

• Call Prestige and spoke to Jade who was v helpful and got my quote down to £670!
Brilliant. Highly recommended guys.

• Did me a great deal on my modified turbo. £450 fully comp .

• Just had a fantastic quote of these guys, previous best was £1040 and they just quoted £825

Please ring us if your car insurance renewal is due in October because...........

We did twice as much business in September than we did in our previous best month, July!!!

Here is some latest feedback -

• Just got a renewal quote from Prestige, the missus said it was great to talk to someone who knew what they were on about and didn’t treat her like a fool. On top of that we saved 40 quid. Not a fortune but then again who could moan at £350 all in and no poxy exclusions for it being a Cabriolet (don’t laff, a lot exclude theft from inside the car and personal injury).

• Just called; very encouraging conversation with Tony. Just need to wait for my renewal to come through now.

• Cheers for all your help yesterday and getting one of yours guys to call me and go through everything i would get and giving me a great price at the end of it expect a call from me very soon to seal the deal

• Can't thank the guys at Prestige enough.

• I gave them a hard time with tough demands and they managed to beat my ‘XXXXXX’ quote by £40

• Couldn't fault their customer service at all

• Must say a big thanks and also sorry to the guys at Prestige. I've been with ‘XXXXXX’ for the last few years and they've always been pretty decent, last year I was quoted £805 with me and the missus on the car 5 years NCB but this year they wanted £839, still a good price but not what you'd expect. So I rang Prestige and they managed get it down to £725

“Women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise from December 2012.
Car insurance is one of the main areas that is being affected by the European ruling on gender. Historically, gender has been used alongside the type of vehicle, the age of the driver, the postcode of the driver and the insured’s driving history, among other factors, to calculate the car insurance premium rate of the individual.

Likely impact on car insurance premiums
Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge different rates according to the gender of the applicant. Claims data highlighting that young male drivers have considerably higher accident rates and claims costs than young women will now not be allowed to be used when insurers set premiums. A male driver under 21 is twice as likely to have an accident as a woman of the same age.

This will mean that women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise, while their male counterparts should see their rates decline. There has been some speculation that insurers will maintain high premium levels for young men and raise rates for young women drivers to match these.

What car insurers are doing
Car insurers are adjusting their risk rating and pricing models to be able to offer gender-neutral quotations by 21 December 2012.”

And the article finished with –

“It's more important than ever to shop around when your renewal quote arrives, particularly if the gender ruling should lead to a fall in your premium. Renewal quotes rarely offer best value.”

Please don’t forget to ring us if your car insurance is due because......................................

.........last month was our best month of the year for policies taken out – September more than doubled our previous best (July) and October beat September!

Here is just a portion of the feedback received in the last few weeks about our scheme -

• Dunno the lass's name that dealt with me, but very helpful service, called back on time, very friendly and a good price. Good Times!

• Very very happy with what I was quoted

• Well I'm waiting with bated breath for the quote to see if it beats ‘X’ and ‘Y’....! It'll be great if it does and I must say that the person called back exactly when they said they would, I have not had to wait in queues and I'm impressed with the service on the telephone. THat's a major point as many on here become very disillusioned with a company if they keep failing to get through. Definitely good service and I'll report back again if I'm happy with the quote.

• Well I've got to say I'm extremely pleased with the service I've received today. Spoke to two advisors, Chelsea and after she went home, David. Both extremely helpful and courteous doing exactly what they said they'd do. And to top it all my premium is less than my renewal with ‘X’ and has £150 less excess too! I will recommend you to others and can say to folks on here, give them a try, they've been exceptional with me.
